    <p>Hi Allison,</p>
    <p>I really think this should continue off-list, but I think
      cooperation is the main point: We _are_ being asked for
      cooperation. And we would love to give it, if we can confirm that
      the domain name in question is actually used in crime, which often
      we cannot as we are not privy to the same amount of information as
      the reporter is. But we cannot simply rely on the word of the
      reporter, we need to be able to verify the complaint ourselves.
      That is what makes this so frustration for us. We want to help,
      but some reporters are not providing us with the information we
      need to do it properly. <br>
    </p>
    <p>What would you want to have us do? <br>
    </p>
    <p>And I never said or wanted to imply spamhouse were criminals, I
      merely said some of the methods employed match those used by those
      with less pure intent. And lying to ICANN compliance or
      blacklisting a domain used by a reseller as nameserver for
      thousands of domain names just because they found one domain name
      allegedly used in spam that uses that name server certainly does
      not count as a white hat approach in my book. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I will never ask them to stop reporting but I am asking to start
      reporting in a form we can actually use. Many reporters actually
      do that and we take care of these issues swiftly and effectively.
      We do not want abuse on our platform and we certainly do not make
      money off people abusing our services for abuse. If anything, they
      will always end up costing us money. So we benefit from running a
      clean ship as well, but we do need cooperation and data to
      identify the bad apples. <br>
    </p>
    <p>This entire set-up is too antagonistic. Us vs. them! We cannot
      trust you! Well, if you did, maybe the problems would go away much
      faster.</p>

                <p>Hi Allison,</p>
                <p>I'd be happy to discuss our abuse handling procedures
                  (off-list), but suffice it to say that any complaint
                  must be accompanied by appropriate evidence that will
                  allow us to make a determination. When someone engaged
                  in fighting abuse is unwilling to provide the
                  necessary data elements that will allow us to make
                  that determination, that is suspicious to say the
                  least. When you request cooperation, you must be
                  willing to do the same. <br>
                </p>
                <p>Again, we cannot simply willy-nilly take action on
                  someones' say-so. We need evidence that will allow us
                  to defend our decision to take action if we are
                  challenged on that call. <br>
                </p>
                <p>We have seen complaints where:</p>
                <p>a) the complaint is based solely on the mention of a
                  domain in the "From" field<br>
                  b) the domain name sending the spam message is not
                  registered through us, but the domain name used as a
                  name-server for that domain is <br>
                  c) it clearly is an issue of a hacked CMS<br>
                  d) the recipient had previously opted in to receive
                  such messages and the alleged spammer was able to
                  demonstrate that<br>
                </p>
                <p>and many other examples, all from well-known spam
                  fighters or through their reporting engines. <br>
                </p>
                <p>If you do not trust us with the data we need to make
                  a determination, we will not get this issue resolved.</p>

                            true?"</p>
                          <p>Them: "We do not share our methodologies."</p>
                          <p>Us: "As we cannot confirm the complaint and
                            have seen no evidence that we can verify, so
                            I am afraid we cannot help you until you do

                                                  AFAIK the largest
                                                  provider of blocklists
                                                  out there. That only
                                                  happens because their
